    Staff and servers were friendly, live jazz music was nice as well. Food was OK nothing crazy special lacking flavour for like 80% of the items. I wouldn’t really say it’s worth the money I’ve been to a better all you can eat brunch that has included drinks in the price. I was also charged extra for some guests who couldn’t show up and when I called to change the reservation the host did not let this be known to me. Then when last by the manager they said that they did inform me. I don’t like when people are not honest to make it seem like I am in the wrong. Definitely will not be attending again not a good lock when establishments blame the customer for their lack of communication.
